I stopped reading and subscribing to the Guardian due to Sodha's repeated transphobia

What is with the media in the country?

#GretaThunberg :
"We are never going back to normal again because ‘normal’ was already a crisis.

What we refer to as normal is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet.

It is a system defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.

If economic growth is our only priority, then what we are experiencing now should be exactly what we should be expecting.”

Diane Abbott warns us about recovering from #EnglishRiots :
"My concern now is that [ministers] pivot to draconian anti-immigration legislation to address ‘the root causes of the violence’. But the root cause wasn’t immigrants. It was #racism ."

The more I hear about the outcomes of the #Grenfell report, the more I think our society is as bad, or worse, than the Victorian era society portrayed in The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist but sadly without enough voices recognising the failures of #capitalism and #racism

May the 72 victims rest in peace, and know they will not be forgotten.

We will remember their deaths were avoidable.

I'm both angry and excited to read about the French & #Paris #cycling movement.

Angry that the UK is so far behind, with our leaders having so little vision.

Excited that we have #Elections2024 that give us a chance to push our leaders to act on the #ClimateEmergency

Even tho the #GreenParty can't win a majority, talking to all our MP candidates about how important to us the #ClimateAction is, to make them commit when they're on our doorstep / in hustings.

...and ditch #TorySewageParty

Have some love from me tonight

I love the alternative acronym for TERF Sue, thanks, I will use in future, as it certainly is more fitting.

@grivettcarnac

Same happening across the pond here in the UK.

Conservatives going full on anti #ClimateCrisis mitigation and giving taxpayers money away to the fossil fuel co.s

Liberals are farting about in the middle ground, while still enabling #FossilFuelLobby & empty pledges

Unfortunately in our 2 party system is tough to get #GreenParty in power

Happy 80th Birthday #AngelaDavis

Truly an amazing woman, with a read of her career and work on #feminism and #socialism

Thanks @ravensrod for sharing "an Open Letter to My Sister, Miss Angela Davis by James Baldwin" written in 1970 with lots of relevance to today's #GazaGenocide

#BlackLivesMatter

If it wasn't for #Masto I would have no idea that hundreds of thousands of Germans have been protesting against #NaziAFD in towns and cities throughout #Germany

I've only found one report of the protests in the BBC where they fail to mention the scale of the protests. Nothing in the Guardian or Independent.

Is British mainstream media worried about showing how good the Germans are at saying "no" - #AfDVerbot to the extremists, worried the Brits will be out on the streets too?

@bot @PaleCrow @lucp

You have failed to provide evidence of your offensive & racist comment

Please remove your comment or I will block and report you.

- none of your articles describe 1000s of offences
- looking at the names of perpetrators does not give evidence they are Muslim
- there is no evidence that the number of offences committed by Muslims is proportionally greater than non-muslims in the UK

@bot
This is a list of abuse groups around the world, these are not by Muslim perpetrators.

Please can you give evidence for your claim?

@bot @PaleCrow @lucp

Please could you let me know where is the evidence for this?

#BlackLivesMatter

@PaleCrow @lucp

The long post is well worth a read if you have time, if not, here's a short quote:
"the topic of imperialism and the legacy of global colonialism is voluminous, to say the least.
"The reality of producing an artwork that can address such a gargantuan concept, while speaking to all experiences and perspectives, felt not only unfeasible but problematic. And to do so would undermine the very reason the project exists, as per the question: ‘What do Black people want?’". 1/2

@PaleCrow @lucp

"Well, Black culture is not monolithic, and one size does not fit all. In addition, I do not believe a large enough billboard exists, to graphically capture the full scope of the topic.
... "This is not to reduce, ignore or sideline African nations or other cultures throughout the world, that have suffered and survived colonial and imperial struggles.". 2/2
